Official: Real Madrid confirm double injury blow after El Clasico defeat | OneFootball

The trip to Barcelona on Sunday one proved to one to forget for Real Madrid as they not only lost the game 4-3 and kissed goodbye to the La Liga title, they have also suffered some injury casualties.

Vinicius Jr. was one of the players who had to be taken off with a knock and now Real Madrid have officially confirmed that he has suffered an ankle injury.

“Following tests carried out today on our player Vinicius Jr. by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle. Pending evolution,” the statement from the club read.

This effectively rules Vinicius out of Wednesday night’s La Liga encounter against RCD Mallorca while his availability for the weekend game vs. Sevilla is also unlikely.

Meanwhile, Los Blancos have also announced that right-back Lucas Vazquez has also suffered an injury and is sidelined.

“Following tests carried out today on our player Lucas Vazquez by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the left pectineus pectoris muscle. Pending evolution,” the statement from the club confirmed.

Like with Vinicius, Vazquez is also set to miss the Mallorca and Sevilla clashes but could come back for the final game of the league season vs Real Sociedad.

This leaves Real Madrid without yet another defender as they have already lost Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy to injuries while Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao are also still not ready to return after lengthy layoffs.

With Aurelien Tchouameni suspended as well, it leaves outgoing manager Carlo Ancelotti with very few options in the defensive department to face Mallorca on Wednesday.
